2 Samuel 3:6-13
6It cameH1961 about while there was warH4421 betweenH996 the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 that 1AbnerH74 was makingH2388 himself strongH2388 in the houseH1004 of SaulH7586. 7Now SaulH7586 had a concubineH6370 whose nameH8034 was 2RizpahH7532, the daughterH1323 of AiahH345; and 3Ish-bosheth saidH559 to AbnerH74, “WhyH4069 have you goneH935 in to my father’sH1 concubineH6370?” 8Then AbnerH74 was veryH3966 angryH2734 overH5921 the wordsH1697 of Ish-boshethH378 and saidH559, “4Am I a dog’sH3611 headH7218 that belongs to JudahH3063? TodayH3117 I showH6213 kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 your fatherH1, to his brothersH251 and to his friendsH4828, and have not deliveredH4672 you into the handsH3027 of DavidH1732; and yet todayH3117 you chargeH6485 me with a guiltH5771 concerning the womanH802. 95May GodH430 doH6213 soH3541 to AbnerH74, and moreH3254 alsoH3541, ifH3588 6as the LordH3068 has swornH7650 to DavidH1732, I do not accomplishH6213 thisH3651 for him, 107to transferH5674 the kingdomH4467 from the houseH1004 of SaulH7586 and to establishH6965 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and overH5921 JudahH3063, 8from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884.” 11And he couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 answerH7725 AbnerH74 a wordH1697, becauseH4480 he was afraidH3372 of him.
12Then AbnerH74 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732 in his placeH8478, sayingH559, “WhoseH4310 is the landH776? MakeH3772 your covenantH1285 with me, and beholdH2009, my handH3027 shall be with you to bringH5437 allH3605 IsraelH3478 overH5437 to you.” 13He saidH559, “GoodH2896! I will makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you, but I demandH7592 oneH259 thingH1697 of you, 9namelyH559, 10you shall not seeH7200 my faceH6440 unlessH3588H518 you 11firstH6440 bringH935 MichalH4324, Saul’sH7586 daughterH1323, when you comeH935 to seeH7200 12me.”
